Original Question
-----------------
I have a DBA who is trying to run an X program from the
command line. The GUI side of it is not used. Seriously,
Oracle came out with this X program that will run from the
command line but it has to have an X display for it to run.
The end goal would be to run it from cron for maint of some sort.
Is there a way to point the DISPLAY variable at a null device
so this thing can run. I know this sounds weird.
